Phenotyping data coupled with RNA sequencing of apple genotypes exhibiting contrasted quantitative trait loci architecture for apple scab () resistance.

Previous studies have highlighted the role of three quantitative trait loci (QTL, i.e. 'qT1', 'qF11' and 'qF17') in partial resistance to apple scab.

Genetic control of tomato fruit quality: from QTL mapping to Genome Wide Association studies and breeding.

Consumers began to complain about the taste of tomato varieties in the late 1990's. Although tomato taste is influenced by environmental and post-harvest conditions, varieties show a large diversity for fruit quality traits. We herein review our past and present research work intended to improve tomato fruit quality.

Acibenzolar--Methyl and Resistance Quantitative Trait Loci Complement Each Other to Control Apple Scab and Fire Blight.

Diversifying disease control methods is a key strategy to sustainably reduce pesticides. Plant genetic resistance has long been used to create resistant varieties. Plant resistance inducers (PRI) are also considered to promote crop health, but their effectiveness is partial and can vary according to the environment and the plant genotype.
